Apple TV to smart TV connection
I've connected my LG wifi ready tv to my Apple TV via hdmi. ATV connects to Internet via wireless which is all I need really, so I'm bypassing all the smart tv features. However, There are couple of things that would be nice to access to on smart tv ((3d world), but my tv cannot connect to the Internet unless I get a dongle.
I know I could get a dlan plug and all that, but I'm wondering, can I connect the Tv to the ATV via Ethernet and somehow share the ATV connection so that also the tv can be connected too?
Thanks!
no but if your tv have an ethernet port you can use an airport express or other hotspots to make it conenct to the same wifi network as the appletv connects to

Can't get Apple Remote App to stay connected to my ITunes library.
I recently had my modem and router taken out by lightening. So I replaced them both with what is supposed to be the latest and greatest. Simultaneously, Apple had a new version of ITunes, so I updated. Now I can't get the Apple remote app to stay connected to ITunes. If I start ITunes on my computer, my IPhone 5 will see and connect to the library, as well as my IPad. But as soon as my IPhone or IPad goes to sleep and I try to reconnect to the library, it can't connect to the library. I've never had any connection problems before and not sure what is causing the problem. I can turn off Home Sharing in ITunes and turn it back on again, or restart ITunes and it works, but as soon as the IPhone or IPad goes to sleep, it won't reconnect again. Is this a router issue or ITunes Home Sharing issue? Any input to resolve this will be greatly appreciated..............because it is really annoying not to be able to control music the way I did before! All products have the latest updates.
Take it back and exchange it.
If the remote doesn't work out of the box new then either remote is faulty or AppleTV is faulty (eg IR sensor not located properly in the case).
Either way one of them isn't working, exchange it. -
All non-Apple Wireless Clients won't Connect to Time Capsule
I have a latest gen Apple 2TB TC (ME177LL/A) and have had it for about 14 months. I have never had any issue with it in the past and have perhaps only had to reset it twice in that 14 month span.
Came home from work last night to watch some Netflix on my PS4, and noticed my PS4 couldn't connect to the network. In the PS4 OS I kept getting errors that said either the network no longer existed or my password was incorrect. I simply tried to re-enter my password multiple times, but only once was the PS4 successfully able to connect. The one time it did connect the network speed indicated in the PS4 speed test was less than 200 kpbs. Within moments, the PS4 lost connection again. I was unable to reconnect.
At this point I figured I would just use the PS3 instead...same issue, however. Initially thought it was perhaps a PSN issue, but this time I never once could get the PS3 to connect. It repeatedly just said the network wasn't available or the password was incorrect. Went through the same troubleshooting steps that I did on the PS4 with no luck.
At this point I realized my Lyric thermostat had been erroring out and giving me a notification on my phone---the app on my phone wasn't able to connect to the Lyric via Wifi. Also noticed my August Connect was flashing red and was not connected. DirecTV Genie was not connected to my TC network either. Then went to my home office to discover my Slingbox was no longer connected either. Interestingly enough, though, my iPhone, MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, wife's iPhone, and MacBook all were still connected to my TC network with no issues. I performed speed tests on all of them and all were giving me well over my 60 Gbps Internet speeds. These devices never disconnected nor had any hiccups.
Essentially determined all my non-Apple devices couldn't stay connected to the TC network.
Proceeded to just reset the TC and see what would happen. None of the non-Apple devices could connect. Same "Network not found/incorrect password"
Then proceeded to perform factory reset on TC. At the same time I unplugged my Charter internet modem from power and cat5 out. Powered on modem, waited. Then powered up TC. I did this process twice through, once with auto selected 2.4/5 Ghz channels--still had issue with devices being unable to connect. The second time through, I set up the 2.4/5 Ghz bases upon the most "open" channels as shown by iStumblr (I live in fairly large luxury apartment building that has many networks -- so there are A LOT of networks).
This time I appeared to have success. One-by-one I was able to connect all my non-Apple devices to this new network with the new SSID and credentials. All devices were able to connect and the PS3/PS4 were able to connect to PSN and I was very easily able to get Netflix.
Woke up this morning and noticed all non-Apple devices were once again not connected....really not sure what's going on. Didn't have time to dive in deeper before heading to work.
Just as an FYI, I have 2 different Macs backing up to the TC via Time Machine wirelessly (the primary reason I have a TC and not another router). Also have an Asustor AS5008T connected to the TC via round robin link aggregation. All Macs are running Yosemite. All iPhones are running iOS 8.3. Offhand, I don't know the firmware the TC is running. I made no recent changes to the network or any of the hardware.
Anybody have any idea what could be the culprit? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Whilst I said in my first post that apple had removed all the logs.. you can still get them via PC version 5 airport utility... you will need to plug in via ethernet since wireless is not working. You can also install v5 utility into a Mac but I cannot tell you how. Google it.
The other method.. and I am not at all sure if it is useful or not.
Using the airport utility in an ipad.. click on the TC, then edit.. then advanced.. Diagnostics and Usage Data.
Go into this and you will see the Airport utility has got a stack of info out of the TC..(for secret transmission to apple).
eg
I guess it is comparison between normal functionality and when it fails that will show something interesting.. meaning you will need to track the info... and it is not so easy to get it out other than as a screenshot.. -
I can't get FaceTime or iMessage to connect, I enter valid password (tested and works for Apple account) and it won't connect. I have checked all settings, upgrades iOS to 8.3 rebooted, changed Apple acount PW still wont connect. My internet connection is fine Safari works and I can access all sites. I have an iPad 2. Any help on this will be greatly appreciate. iPad 2, iOS 8.3
This is an ongoing problem as you will see by searching the forum.
Out of curiosity, do you have 2 step verification enabled? It was recently extended to include iMessage & FaceTime & I'm wondering if it might be causing some of the issues that some users are experiencing. -
After I updated lion to 10.7.4, app store does not recognize my ID APPLE and it unable to connect me to app store in order to update/download apps? What have I to do? I have the same problem with mac mini e mac book air. Please help me!
Your advice did not help me. I also installed 10.7.4 combo but the situation is the same.
my internet connection is ok, mail is ok, but app store after 3 resets does not recognize my ID and it says "connection is not possible". Why? I have the same problem in both my mac mini late 2009 and mac book air 2010? Is it a problem of 10.7.4 update? I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration... -
How do i deregister my MacBook Pro from the current apple ID that it is connected to?
I just got a new MacBook Pro laptop and i unintentionally registered it with an apple ID which i dont wish it to be registered to. How could i "deregister" from the apple ID I am currently connected to? Anything helps, thanks!
zitzerman,
you’d need to boot into Recovery mode by holding down ⌘R as your MacBook Pro starts up. When the OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. Run Disk Utility to completely erase your internal disk; after it’s been erased, exit Disk Utility and select Shut Down from the Apple menu. When you restart it, OS X Internet Recovery will redownload your MacBook Pro’s original version of OS X from Apple’s servers, and then install it. When you run it, the welcome video will play; reïnitialize it to your liking, associating it with your preferred Apple ID. When you log in, run Software Update to get it up to date in its installed version of OS X. -
Apple tv can no longer connect to Windows PC home computer
Apple TV could no longer connect to Windows 7 PC home computer.
This happened after several Windows updates and Mcafee updates.
After reviewing the web for people with the same problem, I found that you can get your Apple TV back the way it was by:
1. Remove Mcafee and install Microsoft Security Essentials (free from the Microsoft website), then
2. Start the Windows Firewall from the Control Panel, then
3. Click on the left pane click on "Allow a program or feature through the Windows firewall", then on the new window
4. Click "Change Settings", click Yes to the pop up window, and
5. Select both Bonjour Services one at a time, and check the box that says "Home/Work(private)" network. Click OK at the bottom and you are done!
I was thrilled when I got my Apple TV back to normal.
Good luck.mcafee is a horrible piece of software along with norton the only reason they have tons of users is because they pay pc makers to preinstall it and most nonTech users just pay up after the 30days of free virus scanning

View iTunes movies on Apple TV, no active Internet connection.
How can I view my iTunes movies on my Apple TV with no Internet connection? I have set up a local wireless network using an Airport Express that has my MacBook Air, time capsule and Apple TV all connected. I can view non iTunes movies fine. I have home sharing turned on and signed in to my iTunes account (both when connected to the Internet at my parents house.)
The Apple TV prompts me to authorise my computer which I can't do as I've no Internet connection, the computer is already authorised, from previous time on the net.Welcome to the Apple Community.
Where are the movies from, are they iTunes movies. -
Windows 8.1 and Apple Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard connection
I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8.0 Home and as a result I'm experiencing the following problems:
Apple Bluetooth Mouse - randomly dis/connects or freezes where I cannot move the mouse or it's very jerky or very slow.
Apple Bluetooth Keyboard - the keys will stick or freeze causing the redundent key presses (eg. yyyyyyyyeeeeeee).
I've done the following to fix the problem with no success:
Reinstall Boot Camp 5.0.5033 drivers
Reinstalled Bluetooth drivers from Boot Camp 5.0.533 individually
Unistalled both devices on OS X and reinstall them only on Windows 8.1
Reinstalling both on OS X and reinstalling them on Windows 8.1
Uninstalling all the drivers from the Device Manager and reinstalling them
One thing I have noticed is that under Devices and Printers I have two new devices (HID-compliant mouse and HID Keyboard Device) that were not there under Windows 8.0 in addition to my bluetooth devices. I have tried removing the new devices but they keep reinstalling themselves.
I have USB mouse that's connected and I've been able to use that without problems so I think there's a problem with the Apple driver or the Windows 8.1 bluetooth drivers.
Has anyone fixed this?
Thanks!Just to point out the "Bluetooth Collaboration" setting I've found this:
Bluetooth Collaboration enables general purpose input/output transmit suppression protocol between the IEEE 802.11 media access control (MAC) and an external Bluetooth chip to minimize transmit interference. Bluetooth Collaboration is enabled by default.
And it is not enabled by default on some devices like on mine!

I have just upgraded to Windows 8 and my scyning and upgrading my phone with new apple software fails, Itunes looses connection with the device (phone), cant backup the phone or download new software, is this an issues with Windows
Hi, stig2013.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps.
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Powerbook G4 and Apple TV fighting for AE Connection
I've been running my old Powerbook G4 off my Airport Extreme for years with no problem. When I bought my new Apple TV and hooked it up to the AE wireless network, things went great for about a week.
Now the Apple TV loses the network connection, I think because it and the Powerbook are receiving the same DHCP IP address from the AE. The Powerbook G4 trumps the Apple TV every time, and the only way I can reconnect the Apple TV is to put the Powerbook to sleep, reconnect the Apple TV to the network, and THEN start the Powerbook up again.
This holds out for another few days, until the problem re-occurs.
I am NOT distributing IP addresses on the Airport Express, and instead use a Linksys router to do all the NAT and DHCP work. Is this the problem?
[Cable Modem] -> [Linksys] -> [Airport Express]
Thanks!Hi Jimmy, unfortunately I can't offer any help because I have similar problems. Maybe interference is the source of your issues but it's not for me. I literally live in woods with few neiggbors.
I purchased an ATV last week and will be returning it over the weekend. It is nothing but a headache. It does not run transparently. Heck, most of the time it just doesn't work. Sometimes it connects to home sharing but then won't find movies. Sometimes it doesn't find the other computers even though home sharing is on. Sometimes it accesses the computers but won't allow the selected movie to play. Rebooting sometimes helps but only for a short while.
A couple of weeks ago I purchased a Time Capsule and my general sense is that my overall network capabilities, both WiFi and outside, is degaraded. Things are so **** fussy. They worked much better with my four year old router. But no, I let my self be seduced by the shiny new stuff.
Beteween ATV and Time Capsule it's driving me crazy. I just want things to work. I'm comming to the conclusion that Apple really doesn't know how to do networking. I know I don't once it's past the plug-it-in stage and choosing a few settings. The plug it in and things will work concept is just that, an unrealized concept.
Sorry to take my frustration out on you.
